At The Beach Explore & Discover

At the Beach is a delightful introduction to the natural history of the New Zealand seashore. The stage is set with beautiful, factually correct illustrations (including detailed cross-sections) of three familiar habitats – the sandy beach, rockpools and mudflats.

Many of the plants and animals that play a part in these rich ecosystems are shown in situ, and readers are directed from there to pages dedicated to detailed coverage of:

• crabs
• sea stars
• kina and sea anemones
• shellfish
• seaweeds
• sponges and sandhoppers
• fish
• jellyfish & shrimps
• birds.

Aimed at children 4-8 years old, but with appeal for anyone curious about New Zealand’s natural environment, at the Beach is a must for the home, bach, classroom and library. Comes with a removable, waterproof quick-reference guide to common seashore animals.
